will this work to keep dogs off carpet when attempting to leave a tile or hardwood floor?

My daughter swares by it. She has 3 Chihuahuas. I bought it & had to hide it from my husband who began using the sound as entertainment! I hate the thing! It scared my dogs. So yes, I would say it works. Just no for me :-( . Good luck!

Hi Karen. It depends on the size of your dogs. Unless they are very small they will figure it out and jump over it as my 2 cats did. But I put two mats widthwise across the door to my carpeted dining room and the extra width was too much area for them to easily breach.... so it worked for me. Also the mats were very effective to keep the little rascals of the sofa... bed... whatever. I would recommend them. Jan M.

It really would depend on the dog. At first my dog was afraid of the noise and she stayed away from the couch but then she figured out how to jump over the mat to get on the couch. The beep that was made definitely startled her. Just an FYI, the product only fit on 1/2 of my couch, not the full couch so you may want to pay attention to the size of the area you want to keep your pets away from.

This will probably work for a small dog better than a large one. A large dog will just jump over it and laugh at you . It will also depend on the dog and whether or not he scares easily.

It is a very high pitched, annoying noise. The sound does not stop until the animal removes themself from the pad. I believe it could work for dogs, especially for training purposes.

Any medium to large size dog can push it on tile. on carpet, that could be a different matter. Mine is set up at the front entrance and has 6 sections, so it's secure. If you're doing a hallway, I'd use a baby gate.

Yes. This door stop has a thin rubber base that is effective on most surfaces, including carpet.

It would work fine if the dog is going to stay put. But if the dog is leaping about, the claws might rupture the membrane. It's designed to be walked on, then the dog lays down and goes to sleep. Four paws with claws leaping about would probably cause an early failure

It is a motion detection alarm. Motion does set it off. I have found if you set it away from the edge of a shelf, that it will not have a line of sight to the floor and does not set it off. Depending on where you display it, if your dog is large, or gets on furniture, will determine if the dog will set it off. If its not a motion sensored alarm you are looking for then this is not what you want. It is a fairly sensitive motion alarm.

It works good in hardwood or tile flooring. Wouldn't recommend if you have a lot of carpet in the house

yes it does. It works best on a hard floor like tile or hard wood. It is not that accurate on the carpet.

Yes it should. We leave ours up all the time. Ours came with a crack, but works beautifully. Our dogs have a small grip problem, and we may add extra carpet for them. Overall we are really happy with it.

I would personally not use this for your dogs, nor on a wood floor. We have a tile floor and my puppy, who was three months at the time, would drag it around the kitchen. Each panel bends at the "seam", it does not lock into any particular shape. This would be better for outdoors where you could hammer it into the ground to keep it from moving.

My dog scratched the wood floor trying to dig his way out. Rug didn't work either. It does however, work great on the patio and I put two 20 lbs. dogs in it and they do fine. One is an escape artist, but hasn't been able to figure a way out, so it is working great so far.

I don't see why it would, it is made out of rubber type material. I don't have it on carpet at my house, but I don´t think it would.

Don't think it will work. The dog will have to contact the mat to activate the alarm. It would have to be right on the edge and anchored in some way. I found this mat to be completely INEFFECTIVE. My cat was not at all scared by the alarm. Suggest the one that delivers a shock and put it on the floor in front of the cabinet.

I haven't tried it on carpeted floor, but I believe it would be effective in this case. However, an all-rubber traditional door stop might be more effective for this particular use case.

I would think so. It worked fine on my carpeted floors when I used it and I have three cats, a dog and a rabbit that shed. Have to take off the bottom attachment but yeah I don't see why not.

The rails keep it off the floor by about 3 inches. I have mine on a hardwood floor.

This is pretty good about preventing stains. It worked for me for dog urine. It protects the carpet from staining, but the urine still goes down to pad like normal if you let it sit. Make sure stain is.gone before putting it on, though, or it will seal the stain in permanently.

I have found that this does not work well on carpet or rugs. It works well on hardwood, tile and vinyl. So if the areas you are vacuuming are not carpeted, it will work well.
